Has anyone tried this since they introduced guilds? I really wanna play this game with a group but having my shit stolen every night got old fast. I guess with land claims that's not an issue any more but I still wanna hear someone else's opinion before I give it another try.

Do we as a guild have any plans for this game? Beta Wave #2 (the one where everyone who bought LiF:YO gets to play) is supposed to start in 2 weeks and I'm definitely gonna give it a shot. Apparently you need at least 7 active players to be able to cover all the necessary skills so... anyone interested?

So far I like most of the stuff I've read about it. The combat animations need work but it's in beta after all. Other than that it seems really promising. The world is 50 times bigger than it was in LiF:YO, player skill trumps gear, 1vs3 isn't an automatic loss, crafters have an actual purpose etc. It has some bad reviews because it's full loot, open world pvp game where roaming bands of russian horsemen will run you down and gank you for the sheer pleasure of being assholes but hey, what else is new.... Oh yeah, and it's grindy and requires teamwork. But other than that...

Damn it, apparently it's not wave #2 that's starting soon, it's wave #1: part 2. For some reason it's part of the same wave even though they declared the first wave closed and the servers have been down for 1,5 months. Maybe it's a language barrier thing, I dont know.

Anyway, no free access for Lif:YO owners yet, that'll be in April. And even though they are calling wave #2 as beta, it's more of a soft launch since there wont be a wipe at the end of it. In other words: continuation of beta in "early February", 45 euros if you want in but you'll get another character for MMO or 35 euros if you trade your LiF:YO for a discount, leaving you with just one character. Wipe at the end of current beta, soft launch in 2 months.

Ok, NOW it has an official launch date, November 17th. Officially it's open beta, but since there will be no wipe after it it's more or less a soft launch. This'll finally be when everyone who bought LiF: Your Own gets to play the MMORPG version.

So, who's interested in giving this one a proper try? I know I'll be playing no matter what...

No planned date for full launch, which makes me believe it's gonna one of those games that are gonna be in "beta" most of their lifespan. But people do seem to be complaining that calling it "open beta" or "early access" is misleading, since it makes it sound like the game isn't finished yet. It's buggy, sure, but all the features are there.

My theory is they are calling it "open beta" because if/when something breaks they can always play the "hey, it's just beta, what did you expect" card.

I'm currently raising my skills on newbie island, waiting for the new (supposedly more RP oriented) server to come online sometime this week. I'm not sure how I feel about them splitting the EU server in two this early but I guess it's better to do it now than after Steam launch (which said to be early next month).

I'm now playing on Epleland (EU-RP) server and it's been the most fun I've had in an MMORPG since the early days of Darkfall. I joined, at least for now, a light RP clan called Silverhawk. If we dont end up playing this game as a clan but someone still wants to try it and for some goddamn reason wants to hear my sexy Finnish accent again, send me a PM or something.
